Another Blip

Just when I thought I was about to see the back of my stoma I got poorly! I got RSV virus and now have bronchiolitis and another line infection so I’ve been feeling rubbish all week.

Last Saturday my line tore so on Monday the clever nurses came and made a temporary repair so I can still have my PN. Mummy and Daddy were then told that I have RSV virus that causes bronchiolitis so I couldn’t have my stoma reversal as it would make me too poorly.

By Tuesday I had spiked a temperature and was being sick and feeling yucky. It was really hurting when I was coughing and I’ve been really wheezy. I’ve not really been wanting my bottles so have been having most of my feeds through my NG tube.

Having a bottle and holding Daddy's hand

The doctors said I would get worse before I started to get better and they were right. On Thursday I started having oxygen as I was struggling to breathe by myself and also was really sick on Daddy a few times!

My liver has got a bit worse because I’ve been so ill so Dr Hartley wants my stoma reversing as soon as I’m better and they will put a new line in at the same time.
